I'm not counting her out of the AA just yet. Douglas has been more consistent of late, but she really does struggle on beam during competition, and it's hard to guess how she'll handle the stress of the Olympics.Kate Courseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800553702363940973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-62499018552209881942012-07-27T11:01:47.810-07:002012-07-27T11:01:47.810-07:00I'm a huge Gabby fan, but I'm nervous for ...I'm a huge Gabby fan, but I'm nervous for her. I can deal with her beam issues, but now she's having trouble landing her Amanars in practice. I'm wondering if the ankle she "tweeked" at Pacific Rim is more of a problem than anyone has admitted to. Maybe the stress of the Karolyi Ranch has caused it some additional problems?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-27294315003875678512012-07-27T09:45:53.860-07:002012-07-27T09:45:53.860-07:00I just love Aly.
